Fans who stayed loyal to the Get Up Kids through the otherwise alienating On a Wire and the perceived-by-some-as-pandering Guilt Show are going to find a lot to like about the proper debut from Blackpool Lights, This Town's Disaster. Featuring ex-Get Up Kid Jim Suptic on guitar and lead vocals (as well an ex-member of theSTART), the band channels a slight alt-country flair á la Limbeck and a similarly minded bounciness that was quite evident on the latter of the aforementioned albums.

Just saw these guys open for Social D. Score is for their performance. Haven't listened to the album yet. Playing this on my college radio show right now...I've only played "Blue Skies" and "The Truth About Love" and I like 'em both a lot. the ex-thestart member is billy brimblecrom. there is no band named brimblecrom. also, to the fool below that said initiation sucked, you are messed up. that was one of the best cds of '04. other than that, this cd is really really good. billy is as fine a drummer as they come. Its sounds pretty good...But why does the lead singer sound like that dude in Green Day? and underoath is music for morons and retarded people Now I realize Jim Suptic was the mastermind behind the success of the Get Up Kids. I like this album as much as any Get Up Kids release. Scruffy-- That's right! We here at PN.org like generic bullshit skate-punk! Get it right! Why are you surprised that no one here wants to review a shit band like Underoaths new CD? I think your a little confused as to what the majority of regular posters and album reviewers here are into. Heres a hint...most of them dont like generic bullshit metalcore. Posted by nocigar on 2006-06-20 13:57:37 and I still can't score properly. I really, really like this record. In utter shock that no one decided to review the new Underoath Cd good review. the album is a bit uneven with some really good songs, and then some forgettable. great promise shown though. 3 1/2 is just right. That White Stripes DVD "Under Blackpool Lights" is pretty kick ass. Jack White kills on guitar... is that the artist that did some of the later hot water music artwork or am i totally wrong? Just listened to the whole thing on the AP site. Pretty good. Buying it in a couple hours when Best Buy opens -- $7.99 this week. Man, what happened to theSTART? Death Via Satellite was so awesome, and Initiation blew goats. In utter shock that no one decided to review the new Underoath Cd. I really need to hear this record as far as post GUK goes I think this and The Terrible Twos will be the best. |
